Liu Si didn't explain who Qing Shao was at the end, he just said in a hurry, the young master of the family of the general's mansion, who grew up in front of the old lady when he was young.

Xia Chen was even more confused. From Liu Si's point of view, this young man was obviously still alive, but he didn't understand why he couldn't mention it.

But he didn't ask too much. After all, it was his private matter. There were many entanglements in the big family, so he just kept his duty and didn't get involved.

After delivering the presents, Xia Chen and Brother Nan will not stay at Liu Si's house. It's almost lunch time. They should go to the main hall for dinner. They agreed with the old lady before coming to see Liu Si.

After leaving Liu Si's house, and around the corner where no one was around, Xia Chen stopped in his tracks, with a stern face and did not speak.

Brother Nan gave him a timid look. Since just now, my uncle has not treated him well. He vaguely knew that he had said something wrong, but he didn't know where it was wrong.

Xia Chen saw his thoughts at a glance, rubbed his forehead, sighed and said: "It's my fault, it's because I didn't teach you well, so you don't know how to keep your mouth shut."

The population in his family is simple and harmonious. Brother Nan is so old and has a temper like a child. He doesn't care what happens at home. The family members know his character and can tolerate him. If he says something wrong, he will beat him up. , he didn't get angry and didn't take it seriously, just passed away with a smile.

But when you come outside, if you don't pay attention, the trouble will come from your mouth in the future, and it will be too late to cause any trouble.

Fortunately, it was Liu Si today. He is Brother Nan's master, and he knew he had no bad intentions. If he asked such a question in front of the old lady, wouldn't he put a knife in her heart?

This is the first time Brother Nan saw his brother-in-law showing such an expression. He originally thought that he would be angry with him, but at worst he would be reprimanded or hit a few times. He didn't expect him to say that, and he panicked: "Uncle, I was wrong, don't be angry."

"Do you know what's wrong?" Xia Chen asked.

"I said something wrong."

Xia Chen knew that he still didn't understand where he was wrong, and he just admitted his mistake based on his reaction.After a moment of silence, Xia Chen broke up the conversation between him and Liu Si and told Brother Nan, and also answered Brother Nan's question, letting him know why the Fu family's Ping An deduction was only two yuan.

Brother Nan just didn't turn around, he wasn't really stupid. After Xia Chen finished speaking, he realized that his problem was a kind of harm to the Fu family.

"Uncle, I was wrong. I really knew I was wrong. I didn't expect...I'll go and apologize to the master." Brother Nan said with red eyes.

The General's Mansion is too far away from him, even if it is known that the two masters came out of the General's Mansion, in the past ten years or so, the Fu Family is just like a legend.He was only 12 years old when the two major generals of the Fu family died in battle. He paid homage to them with his family, and vaguely knew that they were heroes, and he couldn't think of more.

"No need." Xia Chen saw that he really knew he was wrong, so he patted him and comforted him: "Don't mention this matter, don't mention it to anyone, and don't tell anyone what your master said just now, Do you remember?"

Brother Nan nodded sharply: "Remember, I will definitely not say it."

"Also, before talking to others in the future, think about whether you can say this, listen more and ask less." Xia Chen warned: "If you don't understand, then don't say it, and ask me in private."

"Well, I see." Brother Nan said solemnly, "I will definitely not talk nonsense in the future."

Xia Chen patted his little nephew's head in relief. This child is a little stupid, but he is obedient and taught slowly. My nephew can't throw it away.

After educating the children, Xia Chen took Nan Geer to turn out from this remote corner. Someone led the way when he came, and he forgot the way. When he left, Liu Siben planned to send them off. Xia Chen wanted to find an opportunity to tell Nan Geer After these words, he refused and said that he knew his way.

It was not appropriate to say these things in other people's homes, but Xia Chen was afraid that Brother Nan would say something wrong when he met the Fu family, so he hurriedly took him aside to teach him first.

I had lunch with everyone in the Fu family, and the old lady withheld Ping An to Xia Chen, treating him as her own nephew, so all the women in the family were present.

Logically speaking, this kind of banquet should be separated from Nanbin and female guests, but if the family members of the general's family are separated, Xia Chen and Nan Ge'er can only sit alone.

Fortunately, the two of them are not too old, and sitting on the left and right sides of the old lady is not too unruly.

A large family, besides the old lady, there is also the eldest lady who is in charge of the Fu family. The second lady has been a vegetarian for many years, and the third lady is the wife of General Fu. She looks sick, obviously not in good health.

There were a few younger wives below, Xia Chen lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes without looking carefully, and just followed the old lady's introduction and called his sister-in-law over.Brother Nan learned his lesson and followed his uncle from beginning to end, not daring to say anything more.

The young woman they met when they went out last time was also there, the old lady hesitated for a moment, and asked Xia Chen to call "Sister".

There were only a few girls in the younger generation of the Fu family. In fact, there were two boys, but they just couldn't stand still. One got smallpox when he was three years old and didn't carry it over.

Xia Chen and Brother Nan called down and collected a bunch of presents. Xia Chen also took out the presents he had brought. Apart from the ones for the general's mansion, he prepared some other ones, just thinking that he might meet people in the mansion. child.

The gift was drawn out by him in a certain lottery, a box of crystal ornaments, hair bands, bracelets, hairpins, etc., all girls like, the shiny porphyrin porphyrin ones.

He made an excuse to give one to his young mother and niece Xi Niang, but he couldn't explain the source of the excess, so he left this big box just right for the ladies in the general's residence.

The little girls really liked it very much, and thanked Xia Chen happily one by one. Their elders also looked at Xia Chen with softer eyes. The direction is long.

The lunch at the General's Mansion was very sumptuous, and Xia Chen and Nan Ge'er had a full meal. Xia Chen couldn't help but compare secretly while eating, and felt that the cook's skills at Zijian's side were more to his liking.

Speaking of Zijian, after the morning glory was fully charged, Xia Chen found an opportunity to enter the space to contact Zijian, but intermittently, sometimes he could get in touch and sometimes he couldn't. Even if he did, he would stop after a few words.

Xia Chen vaguely sensed that Zijian's current situation might be a bit bad, and he even wondered if Zijian was being hunted down.In this way, he dared not contact Zijian casually, especially at night. After all, he dialed the number here, and the flowers on Zijian's side would shine.

After lunch, Xia Chen and Brother Nan talked with the old lady for a while, then got up to leave.

The old lady still asked Liu Si to give them a gift. After all, she was familiar with them. Because everyone in the General's Mansion gave them a lot of gifts, Liu Si even called a young servant to help them move things.

The carriage was waiting at the door early, and Liu Si and the boy put all the gifts in the car. Xia Chen took the opportunity to say to Liu Si: "Uncle, Brother Nan and I are going out of the city tomorrow to stay at my friend's house for a few days. Let me tell you first." , in case you can’t find us and worry.”

"Going out of the city?" Liu Si was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask some friends, why I don't know, but suddenly remembered that Xia Chen's status is not normal now, so he immediately retracted the words, and then said: "Okay, do you need to send someone?" Accompany you?"

"No need." Seeing that he was worried, Xia Chen explained, "It's not far outside the city. We'll come back after staying for a few days."

Liu Si nodded: "OK, I'll turn around and tell the old lady that if something happens, I will report the name of the General's Mansion."

While the two were talking, a young man in the clothes of a servant of the General's Mansion stumbled over, his face full of anxiety, and he was about to rush towards the door.

As soon as Liu Si grabbed him, the boy who was helping to move things seemed to know him, and he also came over and said, "Sun Chou'er, didn't you go shopping with the second housekeeper? Why are you back at this time?"

Sun Chou'er came back to report the letter. When he saw Liu Si who was in charge, he immediately pulled him and said, "Fourth master, the second housekeeper asked the younger one to come back and report the letter. The second son of Dingguo's mansion is gone. I'm afraid we have to send someone Go to condolences."

"Who?" Liu Si had been away from Beijing for too long, and he didn't realize who he was talking about for a while.

"It's the eldest son of Duke Wen, the one who was sent to the imperial capital to recuperate."

Liu Si remembered: "Oh, it's him, let's go, I'll take you in to see the eldest lady."

Xia Chen didn't intend to interrupt at the side, but when he heard Sun Chou'er say the word "warm", his heart skipped a beat, and when he heard the sentence behind him, his mind buzzed, and he almost couldn't stand still.

"Uncle, what's the matter with you?" Brother Nan turned his head, seeing that his uncle's face was pale, and he looked like he was about to faint, so he yelled in fright.

"What's the matter? Go in quickly and call the doctor." Liu Si was also startled, and hurried over to help him.

Xia Chen grabbed him: "H-what's his name?"

"Who?"

"What's the name of the second young master of Duke Dingguo's mansion?" Xia Chen's throat was sore.

"What's it called?" Liu Si didn't know why, so he thought about it carefully, but he didn't remember it for a while, and it was the servant next to him who reminded him in a low voice: "The name of the young man is a bunch of silk."

"Hey, you know a lot, kid." Liu Si glanced at him.

The little servant laughed twice: "When the fourth young master was studying, he also taught the little one a few words."

"Wen Shu..." Xia Chen only felt that his eyes were going black for a while. How could it be possible? He obviously talked to him yesterday and agreed to go to the village in the suburbs to look for him. How could it be just, just like that? Gone.

"Baner, what he said is false, right? How could Zijian die, how could..."

[From emotional perception, this person is not lying, and the system cannot detect whether other individuals are alive. ]

Xia Tongban hit a wall here, Xia Chen shook his head, resisting the dull pain in his heart, pulled Liu Si and begged: "Uncle, I, I want to see him, take me to meet him."

To see people in life, to see people in death...to see corpses in death, he didn't believe that Zi Jian was gone just like that, they agreed.If, if Zijian is really gone, he also needs to know the reason and avenge Zijian!

After living two lifetimes, Xia Chen had such strong evil thoughts for the first time, if Zijian was killed by someone, he would definitely find that person and kill him.

"This..." Liu Si looked embarrassed. Their general's mansion is not very close to Dingguo's mansion. They can only talk about ordinary friendship. The young master of the family just died, and the mourning hall has not yet been set up, so they rashly brought people there. Looking at the dead body, no matter how you think it is inappropriate.

But seeing Xia Chen's pale and uncomfortable expression, Liu Si was puzzled again, wondering how these two irrelevant people knew each other.

"Don't be in a hurry, I will report back to the old lady first." Liu Si comforted.

"Okay, I'll wait at the inn. If there is any news, please let me know." Xia Chen said hastily.

Since he can't see it now, he desperately wants to find a safe place to enter the space and contact Zijian with trumpet flowers to confirm his safety.

not leaving?When Liu Si thought about it, he felt that the friend Xia Chen mentioned might be the young father-in-law of Wen's mansion, and he suddenly felt sad.

Xia Chen's face was pale, expressionless all the way, Brother Nan didn't dare to disturb him, so he shrank aside and looked at him worriedly.

When they arrived at the inn, Xia Chen didn't have time to move his things, so he hurriedly ordered Nan Geer to clean up. He went to rest for a while without disturbing them, and then locked them into the space to take out the morning glory.

Rubbing back and forth, the morning glory began to glow, but there was no movement at all, and the morning glory did not change color, which meant that Zijian did not connect to the call.

"Ban'er, the morning glory can still be used, which means Zijian is good, don't you think so?" Xia Chen found a reason, and suddenly felt very reasonable, and asked Xia Tongban for verification, hoping that he would agree with his words.

[The function of morning glory can be used all the time as long as the two connected flowers are not destroyed. ] In other words, it has little to do with the safety of the owner.

Xia Chen lowered his head dejectedly, with strong remorse in his heart, he should have asked Zijian if he was in trouble earlier, even if he couldn't help much, he could go to the General's Mansion and pay any price, why? Let Zijian take risks alone.

After waiting for a whole day, Liu Si finally came the next day. He told Xia Chen that the old lady had already agreed that when the Wen family was promoted to the mourning hall and the Fu family sent someone to express their condolences, they could take him with them. go together.

Xia Chen immediately asked when, and Liu Si replied, "The day after tomorrow."

Xia Chen nodded, expressing that he had remembered, and made an appointment with Liu Si, and went back to the inn to wait.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the sun, which had appeared for a few days, suddenly disappeared again, and the sky was gloomy all day long.

Seeing that the weather was weird, the common people were quick-witted and rushed to buy grain and firewood, fearing that there would be another heavy snow like that, anyway, grain and firewood were needed anyway.

The shopkeeper also stocked up a batch, and Wangchen’s master asked their younger brother to send back a message, saying that the master thinks that the celestial phenomena are excellent, and there may be troubles and disasters, so let Wangchen be careful, and they will be able to finish the ritual soon.

Xia Chen didn't pay attention to these things. He tried to contact Wen Shu every once in a while, but unfortunately he never succeeded. Xia Chen tried his best to comfort himself that Zi Jian was too busy to notice, but a voice in his heart told him, Zi Jian Jian will not let him search for so many times without replying once...

On the evening of the [-]th, it was only four or five o'clock, and the sky was already too dark, and the shopkeeper was still muttering in his heart, so he asked the man to close the door early.

Xia Chen didn't care about the weather, thinking about going to the general's mansion tomorrow morning, waiting for them to send someone to take him to Dingguo mansion.

Lying on the bed at night, thinking of his best friend whose life or death is uncertain, Xia Chen suffered from insomnia again. Ever since he knew that Zi Jian might have been killed, Xia Chen hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days.

Brother Nan next door had been snoring for a long time, and he could vaguely hear it through the wall. Xia Chen ran away for a while, wondering if there was any remedy for snoring, and suddenly felt that Brother Nan's snoring seemed to be mixed with some strange sounds.

Xia Chen sat up, pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard it right, it seemed to be... a scream? !

The author has something to say: people are not dead.

Suddenly, I felt that if Wen Shu died, would my Yuanbao lose love and take the route of fighting for hegemony in the future?Seems pretty good too.

By the way, Wen Shu's name and characters were also obtained by my friend, anyway, all the good-sounding ones were taken by her, and I can't live the series without my friend.
